IGENCE TATTERSALL' S—YESTEISDA Y. Unless the backers of horses are overwhelmed by the num ber of amateur and professional book-makers, the betting on hhaeyx.t year' s D er b y will be unusually good, nearly forty horses , ng alre a d y b een backed, either in public or private ; and ?iS Ind as there are besides a great many untried ones, the field "P'ble of considerable extension. The odds were taken y e sterday a b out several ; those most in request being Jerced, rvise's dam, Defender, Mango, and Silvertail. Brother to Hay Middleton was not so much in favour as when last quoted, the back ers of Jereed having, by dint of money, obtained for nail the Premiership. As there was nothinc , very extraordi tnry in his perf ormance at Doncaster, we do not apprehend at he will long remain in his present situation.

His Grace has been entertaining a numerous circle of friends during the past week. Lord and Lady W. Bentinck, Lord A. Paget, Sir 'Wm. and Lady Boothby, and Mr. and Lady 11. Baring are amongst the recent arrivals at Chatsworth. The Duke of Norfolk has relinquished his seat at Worksop, Notts, to his son the Earl of Surrey, whose eldest son, Viscount Fitzallan, a Cornet in the Royal Horse Blues, is on the eve of attaining, his majority. The Marquis of Hertford still continues at Brus sels, enjoying the society of a few select friends. His Lord ship's health is good, and he is likely to go to Paris in a few days. The Marchioness Conynghain and her son, Ear! Mountcharles, were among the promenaders on Sunday last in Hyde Park. Count Szegedy, Grand Chamberlain to the Em peror of Austria, arrived at the Clarendon Hotel, on Sunday, from a tour in the manufacturing districts. The Countess of Jersey and Lady Sarah 'Villiers are now at Berlin. Her Ladyship is expected to return to England in three weeks. Middleton Park will be very gay in December. Lord C. Hamilton has arrived at Chatsworth, and is on a visit to the Duke of Devonshire. Lord Dinorben is entertaining a select party at Kinmell Park, St. Asaph. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, attended by Lord J. Churchill, is expected to leave Kinmel on the 20th inst., to attend a Masonic festival at Bath. Lord Foley, accompanied by his brother, left Lon don on Tuesday last, by the Antwerp Company's steam-packet Princess Victoria. On Tuesday night the daughter of Mr. Roberts, the celebrated harpist, aged eleven years, was killed at Car nation by a gentleman's carriage passing over her; and on the following day the coroner's jury returned a verdict of man slaughter against the coachman, on account of his intemperate driving.—North Wales Chronicle. TIVERTON CHURCH-RA TE.—The scrutineers met on Monday last, and finished the scrutiny before they rose, being much assisted by the clear and lucid manner in which Mr. Mead, the vestry clerk, had arranged the names for in spection. The number of voters struck off were--for the rate, 87 ; against the rate, 80; leaving the poll thus :—For the rate, 159; against, 527—majority, 58: thus increasing the majority by seven.— Westei n Times. As we left Cashel for Clonmel, it was impossible to resist turning back to gaze at the rock and its majestic ruins towering behind us, till distance at last shut it out from our view. The svhole country to Clonmel is beautiful in the ex treme, and richly planted, and as we approached the banks of the Suir it was covered with demesnes and castles, and bounded by the lofty and picturesque ridges of Sleive-na mann and the Galtee mountains. The town (it being market day) was crowded from end to end, and the roads thronged with long lines of carts bringing agricultural produce, and car rying back the merchandise of the town. I never saw a more bustling scene, and the well-built houses, immense mills, and capacious stores, attest the prosperity of the rising town. The provision has commenced with unusual briskness, and the chief exports (pork and butter) have been bringing prices unusually high for the season—the latter 31. a firkin, and the former from 2/. to 21. 2s. a hundred weight. Cahir, to which we next drove, through a continuation of the same rich and beautiful scenery, passing by the demesnes of Mr. Moore, Mr. Bag well, and Lord Donoughmore, is one of the prettiest towns in Ireland, Kilkenny itself scarcely excepted. The views from the bridge across the Suir are splendid, combining the river with its falls, the ruins of the ancient castle of the Earls of Glengall, the clean and beautiful streets of the town, and the distant hills planted on the very summit. The streets were crowded with gentlemen, owing to a public meeting which had been that day called for the promotion of a rail-road to connect the Suir and the Shannon. Altogether Cahir and adjacent districts attest most amply the blessings of a resident and intelligent landed proprietor.—Correspondent of the Ulster Times. As a precursor to the equinox, in the north of Scot land, there has been a heavy fall of snow. In Banffshire, between the 20th and 21st ult., the snow fell deeply from Badenoch to the Knock-hill, on the boundary line between the lower and central districts of the county. About Ballindal loch, and along the course of the Spey as far as Boharm, it was nearly ancle deep. This fall of snow was accompanied by intense frost; and, from the little advance in the cutting of the grain crop, much of it yet being in a green state, it is to be feared that the injury done will be great. MARGATE, OCT. 9.—The Transit steamer arrived yesterday from Lisbon, from whence she sailed on the 3d inst. She was unable to put her dispatches on shore at Falmouth, as it blew a gale, and no boat was ou t, b ut ma d e f or the Downs, and landed Lord Seaford and Captain Blake, R. N., at Margate. They proceeded to London from Wright's Hotel immediately, each being the bearer of dispatches. This morning Lieutenant- Colonel de Roos has landed with dis patches from Stuttgard, which was also forwarded from Wright's Hotel to Downing -street. The city of Bristol has benefitted already from the Corporation Reform Bill to the extent of 7,6001. a-year, out of the 16,0001. which forms the city income, and which pre viously used to be consumed in extravagant salaries and feasting. The sale also of their Church property already dis posed of, is 20,500/ , which is now in the city chest, fot the improvement of its docks, &c., and there still remain five more advowsons to dispose of. William Gunn, who was condemned to fourteen years' transportation for slicepstealing at Inverness Circuit, made his escape a day or two after his trial from the officer who had him in charge, while on their way to Wick Gaol. It appears that this officer had, for security sake, chained himself to two prisoners, Watters and Gunn. When near Swiney, the latter, under some pretence, requested permission to be released for a few minutes, which was no sooner granted than he bounded over the hills like a deer, and the morning being foggy was soon out of sight. The difficulty of disengaging himself from the other prisoner, necessarily occupied the officer some little time, of which Gunn made the best use.— John o' Groat's Journal. _ - We have just heard that an affair of honour came off at Red Post, near Newton, on Thursday evening, at half-past six, between the son of a wealthy banker and a young limb of the law, at Totness. The dispute out of which the quarrel arose was respecting the attention which each party was pay ing to a young lady. The banker's son was unaccompanied by a second, and received his adversary's fire in the right side, ;;0 the ball passed through, scarring the ribs; and out at the back. He is expected to do well.—Exeter Times. Mr. Black made a brief but interesting communica tion at the Bristol meeting of a new method for estimating the stre ngth of spirit. When spirits and water are mixed, heat, it is well known, is always evolved ; and Mr. Black, finding that the rise of temperature upon the mixture of equal volumes bears a simple relation to the strength of the spirit, has sug gested this rise as a means of estimating the actual amount of alcohol in spit it of any particular strength. Redschid Bev Effendi, the new Envoy from the Porte, is expected to arrive in town, from Paris, in a few days, havinr , been replaced at th e F renc h C ourt b y N ourr i Eff en di . Mr. b R. Parnther has had several agreeable parties at his villa, Bird's Eye Place, near Hatfield, in Hertfordshire. Mrs. Trollope and her family are at present at Vienna, where they mean to stay for some months. We pre sume that Austria and the Austrians will be the subject of Mrs. Trollope's next book. Braham and Phillips appeared at the Liverpool Theatre on Saturday night, the former in the Waterman and the latter in the Quaker. Braham sung some of his old fa vourite songs—." The jolly young Waterman," " My trim built wherry," " The bay of Biscay," and other compositions which are introduced into the piece, were given by him with all the fire and energy that distinguished his performance in early days, although he laboured under very ill health. The audience were so delighted that they encored every song, and in some instances a command was made for songs to he sung a third time. Phillips sung most beautifully " While the lads of the village," and several other pieces in the Quaker , all of which were also encored. At the conclusion of the performance, Braham and Phillips came on the stage from opposite sides, the former dressed as the Wa terman and the latter as the Quaker—they recognised each other as old friends, who had been separated mans a day, and and then sung in the most beautiful manner " Auld acquaint ance," Shouts of applause rung from all parts of the house; the song was repeated, and called for a third time, but in mercy to the performers, the demand was not persisted in. Mrs. Wood is to appear this week in La Sonnambula. The ship Frederick, of London, Brown, master, lately put into Milford from Sierra Leone, bound to London, sent her boat to Bullwell, on the opposite side of the haven ; to the town of Milford, for a supply of water, with the second mate and three of the crew. In returning to the ship, one of the seamen, John Cambridge, lost his oar, and in attempting to recover it fell overboard; the others, in endeavouring to save him, heeled the boat so much that she filled, by which accident Mr. John Egg, the second mate, was also drowned. The other two were saved by holding on the loose thwart and water casks, and reached the shore, from which they were not p u t off more than 200 yards. The body of Cambridge was found on giaday morning, as well as Ills boat; that of the I mate not pi. fotvi,....Cumbrian.

The Coal and Corn Committee of the Corporation of London have referred the evidence•given before the Com mittee of the House of Commons to the consideration of the law officers of the Crown and the Corporation to as certain whether it will sustain an indictment for a con spiracy. The following evidence is amongst the most im portant in the mass of testimony taken before the Com mittee, and constitutes the most remarkable feature of the proceedings which have given rise to the contemplated pro secution : Mr. John Zachary Dyer called in, and examined. CHAIRMAN—Have you been a coal merchant in Lon don, and also a shipowner, for a number of years ?—I have. For how long ?—More than 40 years. Are you engaged in business in London also ?—As a coal merchant and shipowner. Do you bring your own coals to market ?—Yes. Have you traded to the ports of Sunderland, Newcastle, and Tees ?—Yes, I have. Are you acquainted with the proceedings of the Com mittee of coal factors for the regulation of the supply of the markets ?—I know a good deal of the system ; I am not one of them. What has been the effect of the regulations passed by the factors on the supply of the market ; have you found it facilitate the supply or interfere with the supply ?—The supply has not been so large in the market in my opinion. Have you occasion to go to market and buy yourself?— Yes, every market day. Have you found any difficulty in obtaining the quan tity of any kind of coals you wanted —I never found any difficulty. Whai do you mean by saying the supply has been limi ted, if you have never found any difficulty ?—Sometimes we might have bought more coals if there had been more coals put on the market ; sometimes there were only 40 ships in the market—sometimes 60, sometimes 70 ; and there would be 200 or 300 remaining behind them. Have you concurred in that regulation yourself?—l never was asked about it. Have you found any inconvenience either as a coalownor or shipowner?—As a shipowner I hare found very great inconvenience in leading my ships in the North. State what that inconvenience was ?—I never found any inconvenience until the latter part of 1834 ; when, at Sun derland, in consequence of not letting any ships go through the regulation of the London market, I could get no best coals sold to me. State what inconvenience you did suffer?—When I came to London with best coals, Mr. Scott, the Secretary of the factors, wrote down to the Chairman of the Committee at Newcastle, and stated my ships (the Olive Branch and the Lavinia) had not conformed to the regulation of the factors is London, in not lying the turn required by the factors' regulation. Have you a copy of Mr. Scott's letter ?—No ; I have my own captain's letter, where he states he has ben refused being loaded. This is a letter from Captain Mason, of the Olive Branch, dated Sunderland, Nov. 25, 1835, in which he states— " I am also sorry to state that Mr. Husdell received a letter yesterday morning concerning the Olive Branch going to work on the 4th of November, without lying in turn for a meter a regular turn for sale, from the Preident of the Northern Coal Trade Committee—viz., a Mr. C. Brandling, communication received from a Mr. T. B. Scott, on or about the Coal Exchange, complaining that su c h gross violations of the rules and regulations of the coal market ought to be immediately stopped ; which informa tion being considered by Mr. Husdell official, he has de clined loading the Olive Branch in future. I should have been loaded with Russell's Hetton's Walls-end only for that letter ; notwithstanding I think I can get a cargo of Sun derland coals, if you pay into the bank for me a bond of 140/." Who is Mr. Ilusdell mentioned in that letter?—He is the fitter of the Russell's Hettons. What did you do in consequence of that ?—I paid the money into Jones, Lloyd. and Co.'s, for the cargo of coals. He met Mr. Spence, who is the agent of the Marquis of Londonderry, and he said if he would take a steamboat, and go to Seaham, the ship would be loaded that night. He took a steam-boat, and went to Seahatn, and got loaded in the night, and paid for the cargo of coals. When he was loaded, they were very much displeased at finding they had loaded the wrong ship, and said they would not have loaded her if they had known it been my ship. Was she loaded with the best coals ?-17cs, the best coals—Stewart's. I had a letter from. Mr. Husdell himself, which I will hand in. Sept. 19, 1835. " Sir,—l have loaded your vessel, Olive Branch, with a cargo of Russell's Lyon's Walls-end coals, with the under standing with Captain Mason, that his vessel lies the re gular days before commencing to discharge. As I have ex ceeded my instructions in loading the above vessel, I trust that you will comply with the arrangement made by Cap tain Mason." When the vessel arrived in London, did you comply with that request ?—I did not ; I took the coals myself, and went to work directly. Did you send the Olive Branch back again ?—The Captain went with the vessel to Hartlepool. Did you get a cargo there ?—He did, on condition that the vessel should go to Chatham. Was she freighted from Chatham ?—No : I gave the Captain a carte bllnche to go where be liked ; I was certain I could get none at Sunderland. Have you a - letter from Hartlepool, S tating wiUt be had done ?—I have a letter, stating that be should go to Chatham. Does he state the reason ?—They would not suffer him to come to London ; they would not load the coals for' London, and he promised to go to Chatham, and he did go there ; but he could not make a good bargain there, and he carne here. fic ultimately come to London, contrary to his agree ment ?—Yes ; he could not sell the coals at Chatham for a good price. _ _ _ Is that captain in London ?—No ; he is coming from Guernsey now ; I expect him here shortly. I have a letter of his, dated Sunderland, January 2, 1835 : " Sir,--I have to inform you of the safe arrival of the Olive Branch at Hartlepool. I got in there last night, after a most curious passage of fogs and palm 4, and I may oay strong gales of wind, I will be able to get a cargo of the Hetton Wall s=end ; but it is just as I thought it would be, I shall have to tell a hundred lies I indeed, I think I shall contract such a habit of lying that I shan't be able to give it up, We have not only factors and coalowners to contend with, but a whole host of shipowners, that are com pelled, by their connection with factors, to chime in with the present shameful regulations, and to show their attach ment to the enus© fall foul of me ; but I have stopped a few of their mouths by telling them there is a Bill pending in Parliament to put a stop to all illegal combinations.

We could get no Russell's Hetton ; no Lyons's. Could you have g►ot second coal ?—We might have got a coal fit for the westward, Portsmouth, and that direction ; hut those were inferior coals that did not suit me to load. I wanted a cargo of the best sorts. Has your other ship, the Lavinia, been regularly loaded? —No ; in the same way she lay for two months at Sunder land, and could get no coals at all ; at last she got an in ferior cargo of Stobart's. Who i;Mr. Carr ?—The fitter of Lamliton's Have you had any correspondence with Mr. Carr, the fitter of you had any correspondence with Mr. Carr, the fitter of Lambton's colliery ?—Mr. Carr wrote this letter to me, March 5, 1834 : " Dear Sir,—l consequence of a general restriction of vend in the coal trade, it is not in my power to freight or guarantee any ship's cargo ; I would therefore recommend you at once to give Captain Ridley orders to load on the ship's account. I assure you the whole of the collieries on this river, Tyne, Stockton, and Seaham, are in it ; and the whole of , us ship the quantity allotted us for the month in eight days." Did Captain Ridley command your vessel, the Lavinia ? —Yes. In consequence of that letter, what did you do ?—I wrote to My. Carr to load her immediately. And took the guarantee ?—I got no guarantee. Did he allow you to take the coals at that time ?—Yes ; ut that time he did—that was in 1834 ; I had no obstruc tion until the latter part of 1834. When was your next communication with him ?—I went and loaded, and then I received this letter from Mr. Carr, of the 13th August, 1834 : " Lambton-office. " About a month ago I had a representation from the Committee of factors for the regulation and sale of coals in the London market, stating that a few vessels (or owners) did not comply with the rules laid down, &c. ; and among the few was your Lavinia, and as she had loaded at this of fice, requosted that I would use my endeavours to induce you in future to allow the cargo to be offered and sold ac cording to their regulations, which I think you will acknow ledge has been of very great service in keeping the market at a steady and remunerating price, and any little deviation of this sort may have an injurious effect ; I, therefore, trust and hope you will at once comply with the regulations of the trade." Did you comply with the regulation ?--I did not. Did the Lavinia get a cargo ?—She did, from Carr. flow did you get a cargo when you would not comply with the regulation ?-1 did get a cargo. They loaded me ; and I got a cargo until the latter end of 1834, when they refused me. When the Olive Branch went in December, 1834, to Sunderland, state what took place :—I received a letter from the master, dated Sunderland, Dec.l.s, 1834 : " Sir,—This will inform you that I have loaded the Clive Branch with Stobart's Walls-end, and was in a mea sure compelled to do so, as Mr. J. Carr, not content with not loading the ship himself, prevented me from getting a cargo of Stewart's Eden Main, and when he found that I had got a cargo of coals he was stamping mad. These coals have been 19s. 6d. all the year, and that price is attached to the certificate ; but I only, as you see, paid 18s. 6d. for them ; they are a very fine thrifty coal, and very little dead small among them. Ridley got in last tide, but don't think that he will get any coals, for J. Carr says that he will take care that neither the Lavinie nor me gets any coals whatever another voyage, not even small." I have a letter from Captain Mason : " Middlesbrough, March 1, 183.5. " Sir—This will inform that the Olive Branch is all loaded, and have taken in 116 chaldron of Chaytor's Wall's End. lam sorry that I came here at all, as they have re gularly proscribed the two ships, go when they will for the best coals ; the cargo is a very good one, but from the low price at market, I think I will try Chatham, as I cart al ways come into the Thames after, if I can't sell. ;'no cargo ; they are very large, and the quaky good, Enclosed you have the invoice ; the price, I think, rather high, and the measure bad, but the ship is very deep ; the wind is at pre sent from the E.S.E., and the sea heavy on the bar. I think it would have been better if we had not loaded at all, and had gone to the Baltic or Holland ; but did not anticipate such a depression in the market. lam at present not very well, and don't think I shall be able to come this voyage ; in that case the ship will come straight to London. My accounts I can send by Ridley if I don't come. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, "JNH , " N.B. If yo u h ave any t h oughts of O selling MASON the Olive Branch, I think there is now an npeertunity to sell her, and think you would get 1,5501. for her, as the ship won't pay loading with inferior coah, l I have also a lettett, dated the 4th of' December, 1835 : " Sir—Epplosed is the Olive Branch invoice for cargo Stewartl§ Wall's-end. Pemberton refused to load the ship without I would sign a bill for 50/. not to allow us the pri vilege of taking the cargo to London, which I of course, refused.' I have seen Ridley, and promised to go over, but I shall cot be able, as the ship is here, and we are in daily expectation to be able to get to sea every tide. I do not think that they will load us here again. Expecting to see you soon, " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "JOHN MASON." That took place when Mason went, in March, 1835, to Stockton-on-TeQo—He went to Stockton the beoinning of Jan,, 10,44. He took on for a cargo of Tees Walls -04 He got loaded all but a single keel. They found out whose ship she was, and they made a tremendous bother about loading her. He said, unless they put in the other keel ho would neither Pay for the coals or move the ship . They put in the other coals. He paid them for the cargo coals, and came away. What becam e of the coals ?—They came to the London market, and myself and friends took them. They did not go through the market ?--No, they never went through the market at all. When he went down to Stockton again, and they would not load with Tees Walls end, I was compelled then to take a cargo of Cliaytor's Walls-end. Is that inferior coal ?—A very ikAtor4or coal. —Did. you tak e th ose ana have them brou g ht t o L on d on ? Yes Tit 00, Woqiiblice of the difficulty of getting coals, what have you done with your ships ?--The Lavinia I have sent to Newcastle about three times, and has been trading to Scotland for Elgin coals. When you sent to Newcastle, did you get cargo regu larly ?--Two 'colliers refused to load me, but I got Hep burn coal. What was the longest time you were obliged to wait for a cargo ?—Three weeks I have been waiting there. If you cemplied with the regulation, would you ha , ; Ewen so long detained ?—I should have traded tc, Sunderland, because the Sunderland coals pay %a so much better, but they prohibited me, I lay thgc once for two months, and they W,9,0,c1 Litt we Ir?ctve no best coals, son(itriais from Sunderland, rilaye kou. been punctual in paying for 3 taur coals on all occasions ? 74 1 WaYs,, and sowticaes ready money ; tl:e master would v ir 4 o w _ ._ a c pay Ibe money into Jones, Lloyd, and (*t AFOYVIIC4 :::( 3 1 , 7lita i l i t . your buiincEs hr.s been done in ordinarywn at 40 days ?—Sometimes at syit two the B inill You have loaded also k fbreip p o rts p.—.

You do not find any difficulty now in getting coals for a foreign voyage ?—None whatever ; any coals can be got for Jersey or Guernsey, or anywhere foreign. Mr. PEASE—What did you wish the Committee to un derstand from that letter of March the sth, 1834 ?—Be fore I got this letter the coalowners were in the habit of upholding the price, most likely is. or Ss. freight. if we did not make it in the market, they bate us the difference down there. At this time that was broken up, and they would not uphold any more. Can you state to the Committee what was the largest amount in difference that ever came under your notice as having been paid by \the coalowners on that system P—l might have seen 201. a voyage, or 251. a voyage, paid when I came to put the difference together. Do you mean a certain price being named as the price of coals, that price not being realised in London, 20/. diffe rence had to be paid to the coalowner ?—Yes, that is the case. A price was assumed as the selling price in London which would leave you a given amount of freight, and the coalowner a given price for his coals ?—The regular price down in the north was charged, and if I did not make 7 , ;. or Bs. freight, or whatever the amount agreed on, Calcu lated what th e coa l s y i e ld e d at t h e London market, and I charged the 7s. or Bs.lreight for the ship, and, tile difference between what the coals fetched at the market and the freight left against the coalowner minus 0 0/. or 9 5/. Was that during what is called the fighting -trade?— Yes, at the time the prices Were very low. Major BEAUCLERK—In that they freighted you ?—lt was the same as freighting me, although they did not run the risk of the cargo and insurance. I was my own in surer. If the ship had been lost, I should have lost my cargo. In every other respect it was freighting you ?—Yes, ex cept my running the risk of cargo. Mr. PEASE—Was it common at that time to guarantee those freights, because it was anticipated the price in Lon don would be so low as not to allow the shipowners a fair profit ?—Yes. That prevailed to a great extent ?—At that time it did. Have you found on the average of the last three years, as a shipowner, carrying coal is a good productive business ? —I have found it turn out very well, doing no insurance and running my own risk. Have you been lucky in avoiding sea losses ?—I was un lucky at first, but latterly I have been fortunate. You may be said now to have paid your own insurance ? —No, I have lost four ships worth 10,000/. Are you alluding to the coal trade, or a general shipping trade ?—The coal trade ; I had three cargoes in the ships I lost. When did you lose the ships ?—Near ah out 1824 or) 8-)5. Major BEAUCLERK—Ifyou could log'', coals at Sunderland land, taking the present prices of thr. London market, would it pay you well ?—Yes. Could you unders' 4 ll the Present prices, and still make a profit ?—Yes, I :tore say I could. s. Mr. PEA:st—Have you formed an opinion from your in timate knowledge of the shipping trade, whether the cap trLns and owners engaged in the trade are making more than a fair return for their capital ; do you think they receive ex travagant freights ?—They have also to pay insurance on the club losses. Taking all those things into account, what would be your impression ?—lt depends so much upon whether the ship is lucky, and the number of voyages she makes. Mr. WAKLEY—Do you know at what rate they are paid ? • —So much depends on the luck of the ship, or whether she makes the voyage quick, or fails in with good prices. Mr. PEASE — Are you aware by whom the regulations are made of which you complain in London ?—The self-elected factors and coal merchants. Da you recollect the time when that regulation first came into existence ?—I cannot particularly recollect ; they elected the weighers at the first. How long was that ago ?—Directly the City meters were broken up. Do you mean after pat.ing the new Bill ?—Yes. About the year 1822 1 1 —Yes, about that time. That Bill leaves it optional whether you will employ the meters or not ?—Just so. You have declined ever employing them ?—I have. Have the goodness to state, with regard to this regula tior„ whether there is general feeling among the owners of ships against it as well as your own.—l never inquired about it ; the captains seemed very vexed with me when I could get on so quick ; sometimes I was making two voyages, while same of them were only making one. CHAIRMAN—Are the Committee to understand you could make sometimes two voyages by not being in the re gulation, while other ships could only make one ?—Yes. Mr. PEASE—State to the Committee the greatest num ber of voy ages any o f your s hi ps have ever made in a year ? —I have here an account of one ship that has made eleven voyages. What is the smallest number ?—I have made only six, but that year I have been in dock. When the ship has been regularly going throughout the twelve months, IvLat is the smallest number ? I made nine in 1833 with the Lavinia. CHAIRMAN—To Sunderland ?—All to Sunderland. PEASE—Are you aware whether nine is the com mon calculation in the trade ?—I am not aware. Scotch voyages are frequently longer, are they not ? Yes, by a third. I tried all the places. I tried Seaham and Stockton, and Hartlepool, and I could get no coals. Were they all in the same tale, they would not give you a preference P—They would n o t g i ve me any coa l s , because I would not go through the rules and regulations of the coal-market in London. Are you aware whether any other parties have refused to obey the regulations besides yourself ?—A good many do not go through the market. Have they been treated in the same way you have ?—I have not inquired lately. Can you give the names of some parties who do not con form to the regulations?—They may have conformed lat terly to them, but in November, 1834, there was a general kick up in the market about it. Since that some have gone into the regulation. Have some continued to sell in defiance of the regula tion ?—Yes, some do not go by the regulation. Do you m ean w i t h t h e best coals ?--Some of them the best coals. Have you any such case to state ?—Tlio vend will tell what quantity of coals does not go through the market. In May 1.5,000 tons never went through. Does it Wow that those ships did not wait their turn ? Thu gild not. they did no t go t h roug h YOu are sure of that ?_yes the market ; they worked without an official weigher. y ou ar e aware a number o f vessels loaded partly with merchandise cargoes, an d partly with coals, do not come, under the regulation at all ?—That may be the case ; but t h e y work with their own weighers, You do not know whether it ,vets the Ptmlowners that in the first instance rec lue:Viv,Athe ships to join the regulation ? —The letters I from the fitters wish the to join, and to go thrc l ul.,„ the regulation. Your captain says, in his Latter of the 2d of January, 4 , but it is Just as I thou.int it would be, I shall have for to tell 100 lies ; indeee i I think that I shall contract such a habit of lying, that I shan't be able to give it up." Have you founO, bini, as you r cap t a i n , to h ave contracted this in veterute habit of lying? --I have found him a very clever fellow : he got the coals waen I could not get the other - • ship loaded. I found one capt ain got co a l s sometimes when the other captain could not. Do you, then, think these 100 lies have served the pur pose ?—I considered he had a right to get coals, as I paid for them. "'- CHAIRMAN—Have you lound him tell stories in anything else P—No. Whether he lied or not, you did not care ?- 7 -No. CHAIRMAN—If there had been no regulation, be would have had no occasioa to lie at all ?—He would have got the coals immediately. When your ship goes to the Tyne, , the We, or th e Tees, you are wiling to wait your turn i Catainly. CHAIRMAN—YO U w ou ld UOI, complain f• you got your turn ?—No. Mr. PEASE—Do yon know what that regulation is made or as to turns on the Tyne, and Wear, and Tees ?—The regulation. is made because they cannot load them all at Once, and we are ohliged to is unt:l they con load us. Is the object that one pai t.y shall not have a prof ence over another P—l suppose it is ;at Shields you take your turn regularly, according to Act of Parliament. There is no Act at Sunderland, is there P—Not about loading ; I believe at Newcastle there is, that you should take a regular turn. The principle is to load in turns, for the purpose of giving fair play to all parties.—Then why would they not load me down there ? You are not able to state whether this system is advan tageous to the shipowners or not ?—I am not able to state; I know I did very well when I could get the best coals. You are not aware whether this was the result of tin application from the shipowners in the North to the factors in London P—l am not. CHAIRMAN—Are . th e C ommittee to understand that your complaint is not against t h e T urn Act in. Newcastle, because you cannot get your t urn alorg with o th er ships ?—Yes, and likewise at the Tees and Hartlepool. over Mr. PEASE— shipDoowne you not think you I :wve an advantage lation ?—I can g quicker, the other rs by not comr e l l i ng w i t h the regu o If all the vepels went as. quickly as you, w ou ld t h ere not be a greater del.•ay down at the Tees, &e. ?—Y es . Mr. LAIA:rroN—Do you mean to say the shipowners, of their own accord, did not propose to join the regula tior 'e —I do not know whether they did or not. You having sent ships so frequently to Sunderland,• are > o ou y perfectly ignorant of that circum s t ance ?—I am perYtetly norant. You said you did not mind your Captain lying on th i s subject ; wo u ld y ou , if you h a d b een Captain of your own vessel, have lied in the same way ?—I would. ;lave got the coals in the best way I could. You would not have minded lying ? - 1 1 .1is is not a proper question to put to me. Mr. PEASE—Has the regulat'.on of the vend in the North anything to do with your trot getting a cargo ?—I cannot say that it has. Have you not stated that the Secretary of the Associa. tioti there hail. been wiitten to by Mr. Scott, and that it was on that, account, you could not be loaded regularly ? Yes. Why d o you, say you do not know anything about the vend in the North ?—I meant as to the quantities. Major BEAUCLERK—You have had the question asked you. " Do you conceive it a hardship if you go into a grocer's to take your turn in buying—do you conceive that has anything to do with your going to Sunderland, where You cannot get a cargo at all ?"—I do not think it has any thing to d o with it. Mr. PEASE—YOU consider a party selling an article has no right at all to make his own terms for the selling ?—lf I am selling a cargo of coals I have a right to get the best price I can for them. Mr. BELL,—Does that apply to the coalowner or not ; has he a right to get the best price he can for his coal ? Certainly he has ; I never objected to the price at all. CHAIRMAN—But they object to supply you ?-1(05, they did, because I did not go through the rules and regulations of the coal market here. You were asked a question, whether, if thr.:re was no re gulation, you would not be longer in getting your cargo than now ; whatever the delay might be, would you com plain if you got your cargo in turn witl i the other ships ? Certainly not ; I could not comElir.M. Mr. PEASE — Whatever the ?relay is in London, what right have you to complain wb'en you can sell as quickly as your neighbours ?—I conit - d , ::in of not being loaded down at the North. You complain of the 'regulation ?—Yes ; but I have no thing to do with the regulations here, and do not belong to them.

MURDER ATORLEANS.--A frightful crime, which the guilty person himself expiated, has just excited great alarm at Orleans. An Englishman and his wife resided at a coun try house in the environs of that town ; a handsome young man, mamed Demartel, whose depraved and vicious habits had rendered him odious in the neighbourhood, conceived a guilty passion for the beautiful young Englishwoman, but could not induce her to accept his proposals. His bad charac ter, and the virtue of the object of his attachment, made him dejected and taciturn, and raised a suspicion that he was me ditating some evil project. On the 24th of this month he went to the country house where the Englishman and his wife me sided, and, after a few minutes' conversation with the latter, he inflictel two mortal wounds upon her with a dagger. The husbanii., who was in an adjoining room, ran to his wifes as sistarxe, bet the Frenchman also wounded him with the dag :•er, and he fell dead by the side of his wife. Demartel then grew a loaded pistol from his pocket and blew out hiss brains. The authorities having been apprised of the circumP.trenee, re moved the bodies, and drew up a proces.verbal of tb a facts.— Paris Paper. It is the custom in Hamburg and o',;her parts of Germany for the living to leave the burial of fr;.ends and rela tions to hirelings. At Hamburg of these hired mourners there are several classes, the principal of whom are attired in a black Spanish habit, a large wig, a ruff *Jut the neck, and a sword by their side. Strange to say, the same persons are employed at weddings—changing fro..n " grave to gay," as suddenly as there may be occasion fr,r their services. " IN CHANCERY."—A mournful instance of the utter ruin which but too snrely emanates from long-contested suits in Chancery, may be obss:rved at No. 41, Queen-square, Bloomsbury. This once handsome mansion is now literally a dangerous ruin. In front there is not a single sound square of glass ; even some portion of the window-frames are moul dering- away; the ironwork of a handsome flight of steps de scending into a bread and noble area has been carried away piecemeal, the stonework having been completely torn up in the effort ; the window-shutters all hang transversely by one hinge ; and a long succession of winters has rendered the roof so pervious to the weather that the floors from top to bottom are saturated with rain water, and the splendid ceilings are fast dropping away ; the back part of the premises is in the same deplorable condition. Into whatever hands the property may ultimately fall, it must be pulled down and rebuilt. The father of Rowland Stephenson, the banker, was the last occupant. A series of experiments, we hear, are in progress under the sanction of Government, for giving effect to the principles of ;it. Reid of Edinburgh, in improving the venti lation of the Houses of Parliament, and establishing, for the guidance of the architects of the new buildings, a body of sa tisfvlory data relative to the transmission of sound. These experiments, which are committed to the personal superinten dance of Dr. Reid, are for the present limited to the House off Commons. --Obscene r . A few days since a working man, of the communeof Chare n t en, named Nicolas, was angling on one of the islands at the mouth of the Marne, when, at only a few steps distant, he saw a man throw himself into the water. Instantly he pl unge d i n after him, and, seizing him by his clotless, drew him from the flood. The man, on recovering, loaded his pre server with thanks, and left him. To the surprise of Nicolas, however, he had scarcely proceeded a hundred yards, when be again plunged into the Marne. Our friend Nicolas, thinking the man must be deranged, again jumped into the water, and succeeded in a second time rescuing him from a. watery grave, at the same time holding him in the water, This time the de termined suicide's politeness forsook hint, , and he demanded, is.*voice like the roar of a baffled bill), how he dared to inter fere between him and his design, Quite astonished at this singular determination, Nicolas 'resolved to give him a surfeit of drowning. He held him dr , ,cn, therefore, in the water while he was obliged to swallow a few mouthfuls. This soon had its effect on the advent'arous suicide, who thereupon seized tire arm of his delis-vere': and allowed him to re-conduct hini t o t h e land. NQ cause whatever could be assigned for his 'attempt, save that he had just comefrom a plentfAl breakfast with some companior s , to whom he had declared that he 'would drown liiinseP:.

There aro about 2,700 to 3,000 lamps contracted for, four feet burners, at something like 4/. 4s. each, at unequal distances of from la to ' as much a s 5 0, GO, and 70 yards, and the streets to b. ligted cover an extent of near 40 miles. It is now intended to reduce the number of lamps by one-third, and an inspector of lamps is to be appointed, to see that they are properly lighted. This will relieve the parish rate by about 3,000/. a-vear.
